Output-constrained individual pitch control methods using the multiblade coordinate transformation: trading off actuation effort and blade fatigue load reduction for wind turbines [PDF]
Wind Energy ScienceIndividual pitch control (IPC) has been thoroughly researched for its ability to reduce wind turbine blade and tower fatigue loads. Conventional IPC often uses the multiblade coordinate (MBC) transformation and aims for full attenuation of the ...

Relevance of aerodynamic modelling for load reduction control strategies of two-bladed wind turbines
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2014 A new load reduction concept is being developed for the two-bladed prototype of the Skywind 3.5MW wind turbine. Due to transport and installation advantages both offshore and in complex terrain two-bladed turbine designs are potentially more cost-effective than comparable three-bladed configurations.

Numerical Investigation on Performance of Innovative Wind Turbine Blades for Loads Reduction [PDF]
, 2011 There is an increased interest in the study of swept-blade wind turbine rotors in order to increase energy capture without an increase in the turbine loads; at the same time, a swept-blade geometry is less sensitive to wind gusts and so, more tolerant for fatigue loads.

Closed-Loop Control Wind Tunnel Tests on an Adaptive Wind Turbine Blade for Load Reduction
46th AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting and Exhibit, 2008 Wind tunnel tests on a non-rotating, dynamically scaled wind turbine blade equipped with variable trailing edge geometry were carried out. The effectiveness of the system for active load reduction purposes, with the interaction between structural dynamics, aerodynamics and control was tested.

Active flap control with the trailing edge flap hinge moment as a sensor: using it to estimate local blade inflow conditions and to reduce extreme blade loads and deflections [PDF]
Wind Energy Science, 2021 Active trailing edge flaps are a promising technology that can potentially enable further increases in wind turbine sizes without the disproportionate increase in loads, thus reducing the cost of wind energy even further.
